Nice video and screens !

Well ! A MG34 killed me on my first run but it was a good time with my friends and you all.

I was not even able to launch a single bomb.

Also I spent the rest of my time as a gunner. 

 

 

I did not have a good karma last night.

I jumped as gunner with Habu and …

 

 

then with 13NRV. But his PC freezed and we blasted into ground. We were killed together.

Not a good karma i told you.

 

See you !

And some photos for You:

 

Spoiler

Bf 109 G-6/Rüstsatz VI W.Nr. 20 084  "Schwarze 1", Oblt. Heinz Knoke, Staffelkapitän 5./JG 11, Jever, Summer 1943.

 

Spoiler

Bf 109 G-5/AS W.Nr. 110 064 "Schwarzer Doppelwinkel", Maj. Günther Specht, Gruppenkommandeur II./JG 11, Eschborn, 8 April 1944.

 

Günther Specht's Bf 109 G-5/AS as 'decorated' and photographed for his award of the Ritterkreuz on 8 April 1944 - note the RK representation over the cowl.

 

Specht was Gruppenkommandeur II./JG 11 and his 29th and 30th victories had been achieved over Detmold on 22 Februay 1944 (a P-51 and a B-17). With 15 heavy bombers destroyed he was one of the leading 'bomber killers' in the Defence of the Reich, despite having lost his left eye in December 1939 when flying Bf 110 Zerstörer with ZG 26. See rudder close-up below. Interestingly in his photo caption for Specht's G-5, Prien suggests that the aircraft may have received a mottle of dark green or brown blotches although this variant was essentially designed for high-altitude interception and may even have been finished in overall RLM 76 from the factory, before receiving a rough 75 overspray. Note the 'cigar' shaped auxiliary fuel tank and the Geschwader emblem of JG 11 under the cockpit - the so-called Der Wächter from sculptor - and regime favourite - Arno Breker, which was first seen on the front page of German magazines after the fall of Stalingrad, usually under the title 'Revenge!'

 

Seen in the cockpit of Specht's machine being shown over the controls is Hptm. Gerhard Barkhorn, Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 52 who had returned to Germany for the award of the Swords to his RK during March 1944. Note the extremely light colour of the Stabswinkel chevrons. The presence of the visible air scoop in front of the windscreen has led some to conclude that this machine was not a pressurized "G-5/AS", but more probably a G-6/AS, which would cast some doubt on the WNr. Lynn Ritger in The Messerschmitt Bf 109 Part 2 states that a number of Bf 109 G-6/U2 fighters were converted to AS types (95 by Erla, 98 by Mimetall and 80 by Blohm und Voss) but interestingly no Bf 109 G-6/U3/AS are listed nor indeed any G-5/AS for that matter.

 

On 15 May 1944 Specht was made up to Kommodore of JG 11 but was injured in a crash-landing during July. He led a Gefechtsverband or battle formation (an ad-hoc grouping of fighter Gruppen) during the Arnhem campaign claiming two RAF Typhoons and achieved his 34th and final victory on 5 December 1944.

A little video from the stuka's second attack on 1st gaurds front line base.

After the vvs did discover us at peskotvatka so did we decide to try our luck against the RAF in Stalingrad instead.  (sorry just had to make fun of it, we were so glad to make it out alive )

Oh ! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo !

I was sure that 45 minutes had elapsed since the beginning of the mission.

May I suggest adding a subtitle when the Mulligan is finished?

It is not very immersive but a great help to follow the rules (indeed very good rules).

Why not an humoristic one as "Morituri te salutant"?

A little too pessimistic isn't it ?

Or "HQ : End of transmission " or something like that ?

Ugggh. RAF skins. What's wrong with some people?

Please chaps, if you want to fly with non-historical skins - of whatever type - use Custom ones rather than the Official. That way the rest of us, especially picky sods like me, will only see you flying in the default skin and all will be well.

Good video though - apart from that.

Cheers.

Good mission but mediocre performance on my side; sadly I got killed when my wing accidentally hit a rooftop in the Barrikadi area, when chasing a 109 chasing an Sturmovik.

I saw in the replay what looks like a midair collision between two 109's, one losing it's tail and the other managing a force landed attempt on the central Stalingrad area. I have only recorded the moment of the two plabes falling. Can someone elaborate more about that?

Excellent mission again and well done all.

Regards

[1.JaVA_KEBEN]

 

Whoever that was, lost his wing after that shot ... but he managed to hit our bombers pretty hard before he met his end.

 

Horrido!

That whas me in a spitfire .... It whas a fast attack on the 111's .... whe hit them well

[[DBS]Tx_Tip]

Thanks for all the well wishes. Very much appreciated.

 

As for our situation. We have been spared the worst so far and are busy helping our less fortunate neighbors. It was dicey yesterday following two days of deluge and there is not one section of Houston and the surrounding communities that have not experienced some type of flooding. Not to mention down the Texas coast to Corpus Cristi and Rockport where the hurricane first made landfall.

I can't tell you how professional, truly exceptional, the first responders have been along with the hundreds of our neighbors across the area and from other parts of the country who have taken their boats to help rescue people in dire need. Right now Harvey has moved a bit closer to Houston so we are in a lull to the heavy rains but now have stronger winds across the area. That may down trees across power lines so am taking this opportunity to say again thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

 

See ya's,
Tip

[1PL-Husar-1Esk]

Good to hear that you are ok and it's great that you guys can organize that kind of emergency help ! Good Man
